Message: [QUOTE="Sam Holden, post: 4740397"] The filenames used are a pretty trivial thing to change. I don't think there is a bug/problem. As I sais I don't know of a platform which makes it impossible to run a program and pass it two command line arguments which are short strings. perl Setup.PL perl Build.PL test perl Build.PL install is hardly 20 pages. If there exists a system where you can't run perl scripts by name and give them arguments, then that wierdo platform would need the corresponding three instructions. Maybe create a seperate icon for each action for system with no command line, or a single icon which prompts for the arguments in a platform spcific way. Makefile.PL is OK, but Setup.PL and Build.PL won't work? So use .PL on all the names. As I said the names of the files don't seem to be a serious issue, that's something which is trivial to change. But then what about a filesystem which doesn't allow capital letters in names? Or a filesystem which doesn't allow .s in names? Or a file system which has a limit of three letters for filenames? My answer is that you make it work on as many as possible without harsh restrictions and then specialise for those platforms which are different. [/QUOTE]
